Malnutrition Diagnosed by Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment and the Risk of All-Cause Mortality in Adults With Gastrointestinal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
J Hum Nutr Diet
February 2025
Department of Surveillance and Health Services Research, American Cancer Society, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Introduction: Several reviews have highlighted that the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) is the best diagnostic tool for assessing nutritional status in cancer patients. However, previous meta-analyses summarizing the prevalence of malnutrition and overall survival in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancer are quite limited. This study aims to determine the overall prevalence and association between malnutrition, as defined by the PG-SGA, and mortality in adults with GI cancer.

Background: Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) has been shown to have associations with several diseases including cancers. Previous studies have investigated the effect of GGT levels on the gastrointestinal (GI) cancer incidence. We aim to systematically investigate these studies to provide better insights into the interrelationship between GGT and GI cancers.

Background: Esophageal cancer (EC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide, which has severely threatened human health. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic factors and predictors of survival in patients diagnosed with advanced lower third esophageal carcinoma (aLEC). Based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, we developed a model (nomogram) to provide accurate and individualized survival prediction for the patients who have lost the opportunity to undergo radical surgery.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, Fuzhou, China.
Background: As the population of elderly patients with esophageal cancer (EC) increases, it becomes more important to understand the prognostic factors. The aim of the present study is to identify prognostic factors among elderly (>60 years) patients with EC receiving neoadjuvant therapy.
Methods: Patients with EC (>60 years) receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) or chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) diagnosed between 2004 and 2015 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were included and divided into a training group and a validation group.
Prognostic model for esophagogastric variceal rebleeding after endoscopic treatment in liver cirrhosis: A Chinese multicenter study.
World J Gastroenterol
January 2025
Cell Biology Laboratory, Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai 201203, China.
Background: Rebleeding after recovery from esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) is a severe complication that is associated with high rates of both incidence and mortality. Despite its clinical importance, recognized prognostic models that can effectively predict esophagogastric variceal rebleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis are lacking.
Aim: To construct and externally validate a reliable prognostic model for predicting the occurrence of esophagogastric variceal rebleeding.
